Nuclear Daffodils
The rush of October,
You can feel it in the rain.
In the sulfur poppy fields,
emitting cosmic chilling waves.
Time keeps passing by,
the world is frozen still.
The ones we've left behind,
Some scars can never heal.
Nuclear Daffodils,
praying its not too late.
Watching from the sky.
Deciding who's to stay
Nuclear Daffodils,
heating the atmosphere.
The force of nova’s
collapsing in your ear.
So dance, danse-macabre,
winter air reverberating in our lungs.
A drop of the match sticks,
It’s all over, just as it's begun.
The fall of an empire,
Pixie dust eases all our pain.
We listen to Fallout Boy,
soaking in all the rays.
Lightning in the sky,
as we fall from grace.
Time keeps passing by,
We're not keeping up the pace.
Nuclear Daffodils,
engraved in all our minds.
Its the heart of our culture,
Why I ask you why?
To the strangers passing by,
avoiding the face-to-face.
Love is left behind;
why can't you see what is at stake?
Nuclear Daffodils,
feel them floating in the air.
The whetting of the sandstone,
nay all is never clear.
Nuclear Daffodils
Life’s but a fragile looking-glass,
The heat it seems to rise,
to the very depths we sink.
Nuclear Daffodils,
child can you hear this deep in space?
As we close our eyes
The demons we must face.
The light begins to fade,
it's the lust we blindly chase.
Nuclear Daffodils,
gone without a trace...
Now we've cast the die,
please listen what I say!
They're always in season,
boy they're going fast.
We fail to hear the reason.
This too, it shall pass.
Nuclear Daffodils,
the quire’s singing Beauty and the Beast.
Judas is cast as Bella,
none can care the least.
With such a somber sound,
echoing on the wind.
All these precious daffodils,
Soaked with blood and sin.
Ashes to ashes,
A pocket full of posies
embrace within the mist
sins of the fathers.
Asleep with just a kiss
